Abstract<br/><br/>This Independent Study Project (ISP) intends to analyze how the practice of the five precepts contributes to happiness from Theravada perspective. The five precepts, which are fundamental ethical principles for lay Buddhists, are attritbuted to not just regulation for self-restraint but also a way to true happiness and well-being for both oneself and others. Therefore, the study includes an analysis of how cultivating moral virtues, considered the opposite qualities of the five precepts, contributes to happiness. The first precept encourages cultivating loving-kindness and compassion. The second precept encourages the honest acquisition of wealth and practice of generosity that lead to contentment. The third precept encourages self-control and faithfulness in relationships. The fourth precept inspires to be truthful, while the fifth precept supports mindfulness in daily activities. Additionally, the study explores the benefits of observances of the five precepts contained in the sutta. Hence, in order to achieve genuine happiness, living morally is essential. |
